I applaud the innovation that has gone into the events these last few months. From the "New Telemetrics" event to the Mechtoberfest, innovative events keep things interesting, and also compel players to try new things, such as narc kills.

A balance of event types will be good. We have the inevitable leader boards with each chassis. We also have the grab bag events during festivals. And then we have innovative events such as this one. These are good. But we also need eventless weekends so that "normal" boating play can resume.

Different people have different notions of content - I.e. if its not what they want, be it PvE, their own version of FP, it ain't going to count. But innovative events do draw people in and seem to be less controversial/difficult to do.

What I need next is a solaris event where I v All. Please?

PS please dont add drop decks to quick play. It wont be "quick" anymore.

Mektober fest should be permanent, so more pleople wants to play to get something everyday, and complete that table.

It's like a fidelity reward for dropping everyday, at least 5 drops

Agreed. I discovered my NARC 3L Raven with this event. Not a lot of damage done but a lot of fun some good C-BIlls earned due to NARC kills. In my opinion, PGI should reward more, expecially for light/medium mechs, actions that help the team (scouting, locking assistance, TAG, NARC, etc). Right now for determining mech score (and C-Bills) damage done is the most relevant entity.

Agreed, other games have this kind of "fidelity rewards" for logging daily, etc.

I don't consider events content. I do think they show one glairing problem of the game and that is it has to much of a grind. Basically people don't waste their time with MWO unless there is an event going on.

Games are supposed to be fun and make you want to spend your money. Not suck so bad that you feel obligated to spend money to dampen the pain.

I only play when events are on, when my friends are on or occasionally to grind a mech. Otherwise for the most part Im over this game and dont really play it solo for fun like i used to.

Don't get me wrong I think the events are great but also show a glairing flaw.

I don't care about events, cuz now they are all completely lack imagination and all about "earn KMDD", that is almost unavailable to me, cuz my obsolete IS 'Mechs are way too gimped against Kodiaks and Night Gyrs, who can literally one-shot anything, they see.

The events are great for helping me grind mechs up to use in endgame content.

Now, about that endgame content...

[El Bandito]

If PGI can separate the Leaderboard into Solo-Q and Group-Q only, that'd be great.

you would be very poor. I like how you pretend as if I even participate in most threads around here. I don't even post as often as some others.

Seriously...I saw the light queue at like 31% the other night. Hell, I'm playing lights because of this and I almost never do so.
